"Architecture photography has evolved into an exploration of atmosphere and emotion, and the 2025 Chromatic Awards winners embody that shift. This year's top images move far beyond structural precision, capturing mood, weather, memory, and the quiet drama of light interacting with concrete. Deryk Baumgärtner's first‑place Petit Lighthouse delivers cinematic tension, with fog, rain, and a piercing beam of light transforming Brittany's coastline into something haunting and unforgettable."
"Gary Ng's second‑place Concrete Memento turns a moment inside Kyoto's Uji Station into a meditative study of sunlight, brutalism, and human presence. Rounding out the top three, Chaussee's Monument Valley uses a gift shop window reflection to merge ancient landscape with modern commerce, creating a layered visual metaphor about photography's power to reveal and obscure at once.
